I suspect that is not something done to your bracket.  That bracket with the nut adjuster is the standard on Golfs and Jettas.  They bolt on to the Vanagon.

Some PO or mechanic of my "new" beast welded a small rack on the slot
in the alternator adjusting strap.  It mates with a hex-headed pinion
that rotates on the clamping bolt.  Turns tensioning the alternator
belt into something your six-year-old could do without breaking a
sweat.  No idea what it engine/vehicle came from originally, but it's
sweet.  Nice welding job, too.

I'm not as fond of some of the *other* things that were done to the
engine wiring.  Likely not the same fella.
